Seville Casa de Salinas Tickest with Audioguide

The Casa de Salinas is a somewhat hidden gem in the heart of Seville's historic quarter. Behind its discreet façade is a 16th-century palace-house, still inhabited, which makes the visit a different experience to that of a conventional museum.

Your ticket gives you access to a 25-minute audio-guided tour in Spanish, English, French and Italian, which will guide you through the main areas. From the first courtyard, surrounded by marble columns, arches and plasterwork, you will discover how this building harmoniously combines Gothic, Renaissance and Mudejar elements, a reflection of the splendour of Seville in the Golden Age.

As you go along, you can admire original hand-painted tiles, stained glass windows and carved wooden ceilings, as well as the old summer and winter salons, where the family's social life once took place. One of the highlights of the visit is the 2nd century Roman mosaic dedicated to Bacchus, which is perfectly integrated into the inner courtyard and has become part of the palace's everyday decoration.

The audio guide will tell you about the history of the house, family anecdotes and architectural details, while you stroll through its plant-filled courtyards, galleries and main rooms. As it is a self-guided tour, you are not dependent on a group or a closed internal timetable: you can stop to take photos, calmly observe the coffered ceiling or simply enjoy the silence and freshness of the courtyard, far from the bustle of the nearby streets.

Located in the monumental surroundings of the Cathedral and the Giralda, the Casa de Salinas is a perfect stop to add to your route through the centre of Seville if you want to see inside an authentic stately house, which is still a home and preserves its historic character intact.
